. t r A FINANCIAL FLURRY. ONE HUNDRED PER CENT FOR CAUL FUNDS. A Strlnurnr.v In the Nw York Market Duo to Cntnotnco Utcr the Klretlon Increnfeil Datnnnd for Cold nnil For Irii KxchniiRO Talk, of Clearing Certificates. High Rates for Money. Xr.w York, Oct. SO. Wall street to day experienced an ante-election twist In tho money market which precipi tated lively selling of stocks nnd caused a loss of most of tho advanco In prices which has occurred during tho past few days. It lias been evident for several days past that a good many people wero taking steps to protect themselves against tho effects of a free silver vic tory if Hryan should win in tho elec tion TueBday. This tendency showed it self in several ways. Thero was an increased demand for sterling bills of London, a greater inquiry for "calls" on gold and a growing demand for gold to hoard. Hankers hnvo felt this movement through a loss of de posits, and they have been compelled to withdraw more nnd more money from the call loan market. For several days call rates have ranged rather high. To-day they wero bid up to CO per cent, and later xp to 100 per cent. There were no great amounts loaned at the high rates, and comparatively llttlo excitement was stirred up by the ad vance, as it was in a measure antici pated. There is more disposition now to hedge against a possible free silver vic tory than there has been at any timo since last summer, when, ns a result of tho transfer of funds from this country to Europe, gold was going out In largo amounta The action of the syndicate of foreign bankers in attempting to stem that movement, and the favor able turn In the trade balance a llttlo later, which brought largo sums of gold to this country from Eu rope, had tho effect of quieting peo ple's fears, and since then, until this week, there has not been much uneasiness over the election. But the feeling has broken out again In tho last few days. Bunkers here antici pated It and prepared for it as well as tlicy could. But bankers everywhere In the country did the same thing, and the withdrawal of funds from here by Interior banks has prevented any great accumulation of cash here. It Is well known that many banks hi interior cities aro carrying a cash reserve of fifty to seventy per cent of their de posits. This sort of thing has kept tho cash reserves here at a very low point and compelled extraordinary conserva tism on the part of New York banks. The drain of monoy to tire country ha3 been so great that practically all of tho 800,000,000 which nave come from Eu rope have gone into the interior. Much of tho gold itself went into the treas ury, but the currency obtained in ex change went west and south. The nominal broker's premium on gold to-day was H per cent. A number of reputable firms are selling "calls" on gold, good thirty to ninety days, at X per cent premium. There was a good deal of talk on the street about a probable issue of clear ing house certificates, but it does not come from an authoritative source. STUDENTS PRANKS. Kama Stato Normal School Fainted bj MltchlcTout Young Men. Em r oki A, Kan., Oct. 30. Every stom (sidewalk, every entrance, tho stone stops, even the famous Kansas AVorld't Fair fountain, which sets in the campui of tho Kansas State Normal school early yesterday morning wero dis covered to be decorated in two or three shades of paint. Most of the decorations consisted o) such phrases: "Hurrah for Bryan," "10, 2, 1," "McKinley's not In It." A very well executed picture of a donkey, labeled "Mclvinley," occupied the entire walk in front of the malr. entrance. Who the artist, or artlsU were, Is a mystery.

President Tnylor says he will prosecute the guilty par ties if discovered. EGG THROWERS EXPELLED. The Chicago Youtht Who Assaulted Demo crat Mutt Star Away From School. Chicago, Oct. 30. Louis J.

A special dispatch from Berlin says that It Is understood there that tho proposed prosecution of Prince Bismarck's organ, tho Ham burger Is'achrlchten, for publishing state secrets, has been abandoned out of fear of tho harm such a step might do to Germany's foreign, policy. Should Frineo Bismarck, howovcr, publish tho circumstances under whloh ho resigned oftlco, the government will, tt Is de clared, bo forced to act, and It Is said will probably treat IMnco Bismarck In the sarao manner that tho latter treated Count von Arntm. Count von Arnlm was arrested in October, 1874. and confined in Berlin for refusing to glvo up docu ments sent to him ns ambassador. On account of Illness ho was re leased on ball sorao threo weeks later, but was again nrrcsted, tried in December, 1874, convicted of making way with ecclcsio-pollticnl documents, acquitted of other charges, and sen tenced to threo months' imprisonment. He appealed, was tried again in June, 1875, and a verdict was rendered con firming tho sentence. In November of tho same year it was rumored that ho was to bo prosecuted for treason in a pamphlet entitled 'Tro Nlhllo," .pub lished at Zurich in Jnnuary, 1800. In May, 1881, he died at Nice, as a result, it was said by Prince Bismarck's ene mies, of the persecution to which ho had been subjected by the chancellor. FOR EGGING MR. BRYAN.

Later in tho day Foster and Fnnchctt confessed to Chief of Po lico Badenoch that they had thrown the cggB. Thomas Gahan, chairman of tho Democratic county committee, received the following letter from Mr. Bryan regarding the matter: "Dear Mr. Gnhun: I wish you would nsk for tho release of tho boys arrested for throwing tho eggs. I am suro it was an net of thoughtlessness, and their arrest has doubtless been a suf ficient lesson to them and others. Yours truly, W. J. Bryan." Late In the afternoon tho chief of police was compelled to release tho two young prisoners, ns after Mr. Bryan had written his letter asking for their release, it was evident that there would bo, no prosecution if tho prisoners wore arraigned. Before the prisoners had been re leased, word was received from both of their families that the law could tako its course, as .no part in tho defense would be taken by any of their rela tives.

Whllo wo wero arranging these matters, it was flashed over the wires that the Georgia and Tennessee Democrats had rojected the overtures made by the Populists and adjourned without making a coun ter proposition.

A MIDNIGHT MURDER. MOTHER AND SLAIN.

A Mltsonrt llutoliery. Richmond, Mo., Oct 20. The most horrible and brutal crime ever com mitted in Roy county came to light yes terday, when the dead bodies of Mrs. Jesso Winner and her two small chil dren wero found at their home, on tho Wntkins place, six miles northeast o this city. Tho victims arc: Mrs. Kva Winner, aged 20. Clara Winner, girl, nged 2. l'earlc Winner, boy, aged 18. months. Mrs. Winner's body was found just outside of tho houso, with the skull terribly crushed, nnd tho bodies of tho two children in a corner of tho ono room of the house. Tho children's throats wero cut. Tho murderer or murderers arc not known, but tho lius bnnd and father Is In jail pending an inquiry. The triple murder took place somo time between 11 o'clock Monday night nnd t o'clock yesterday morning. The Winner homo is about half a mile back from tho county roud, and was occu pied by Jcsso Winner tmd Ills family, which has consisted of his wife and three children. Mr. Winner was not nt homo Monday night, his wife and children being the only ones on tho place. Somo timo during the night somo unknown person or persons gained admittance to the house and before leaving blotted out threo lives. From tho nppearanco of the interior of the house it Is evident that a ficrco fight was waged by the mother in de fense of herself und her little ones. Everything was in disorder and a broken chain, besmeared with blood, tells tho talc of Mrs. Winner's resist ance, for tho blood was hers, and it was shed In bnttllng with tho mur derer. It is plain that before sho re ceived her death blow she managed to escape from tho houso and was fleeing across tho yard, when sho was over taken und felled with a fence rail. The blow crushed her skull, but to make sure work the murderer split the woman's head with an ax, the blade burying itself to the victim's eyes. After killing Mrs. Winner tho brute returned to tho house and killed two of tho children, one a girl aged 3 years, named Clara, and tho other n boy, 18 months old, named Pearlc, by cutting their throats with a knife. Tho mur derer not only cut tho jugular veins, but severed .the spinal cords of tho babies. The third child, which is deaf nnd dumb, escaped without injury. Before tho crime was discovered, hogs found the body of Mrs. Winner and had eaten all the flesh oil her head, leaving nothing but the skull with two gaping holes in it. When tho husband and father was informed of tho murder of his family he appeared wholly unconcerned, which seemed to create strong sus picion against him. Winner is a coal miner. Ho claims to hnvo been in Richmond when tho crime was com mitted. The Winners came hero about five years ago, coming from Tipton, Pauld ing county, Ohio, where his wife resided. Both were well connected, she having two brothers back In Ohio who are considered very wealthy. There is strong talk of lynching, if the crime Is fastened upon anyone. A $100,000 ERROR.
